The long-term effects of interface irrigation on visual outcomes and corneal aberrations in Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE).

Purpose: To assess the long-term effects on visual outcomes and corneal aberrations of irrigating the interface during the small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery for managing myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Methods: In 47 patients who underwent bilateral SMILE surgery for myopia and myopic astigmatism, one eye was irrigated with 1.0 ml of balanced salt solution via cannula (Group 1) and the other eye was not irrigated (Group 2).

Evaluation of pericardium patch graft thickness in patients with Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation: an anterior segment OCT study.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in thickness of tissues, specifically the pericardium patch graft (PPG) covering the silicone tube in Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) surgery.

Study Design: Prospective observational study.

Methods: This study included cases with refractory glaucoma that underwent AGV implantation with PPG coverage.

Long-Term Results of Transscleral Diode Laser Cyclophotocoagulation in Glaucoma: A Real-Life Study.

Prcis: Transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (TDLC) is effective and safe in a large population and different types of glaucoma but is least effective in the neovascular glaucoma (NVG) group.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of TDLC in a large cohort of patients with different types of refractory glaucoma.

Patients And Methods: Using patient charts, we retrospectively analyzed the success and complications of TDLC performed on eyes categorized into 6 groups: primary glaucoma (116 eyes), trauma (41 eyes), NVG (84 eyes), post-vitreoretinal surgery (post-VRS, 79 eyes), penetrating keratoplasty (47 eyes), and miscellaneous (40 eyes).
